Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

I have English house guests which means I spent last week Down South. If you’ve not been before, it is a vey good place. Beaches, forests, wine, food, sun and of course, gnomes. Yes, gnomes. They hang out together near a roundabout on a quiet road in the Ferguson Valley. Hundreds of them. And I love every last little handpainted sign and cringe-worthy gnome-inflicted idiom (gnome sweet gnome, gnome away from gnome, gone gnoming, Harvey Gnoman). Oh, and this post is for the lovely Angie because I think she just might like it.

Being a bridesmaid can be all consuming, particularly when you’re the maid of honour and especially when it’s your sister tying the knot. Constantly thinking about the perfect invitation or how to set the tables or which shade of pearly nail polish to wear. At least now we have some inspiration for the lighting (thank you Antonio and Silvia). Magical.

Next time I go to the Royal Botanical Gardens, I won’t just send you a postcard, I’ll send you some garden. It’s like reality TV for the postcard industry. Up there for thinking, green thumb stationers Postcarden.

Burnese-born English illustrator Nila Aye‘s work is so sweet it might give you cavities, but I think I have discovered Nila’s naughty side. Find her Flickr photostream and one of the funniest illustrations about boob jobs I’ve ever seen. Not that I’ve seen a lot of illustrations about boob jobs. Boobs. It is a funny word, isn’t it? I’m sorry Nila, I didn’t mean for this post to descend into smuttiness.

Sheffield lass Su Blackwell knows how to create pictures with words. These miniature dioramas are delicately formed from old books carefully sourced from second-hand bookstores. These sculptures are like pop-up picture books for adults. No touching.
